I think Angelina was 14 when she wrote and recorded this video at the age of 14. She had just signed with Republic Records and this was the first song of Angelina they released.

Angelina wrote this beautiful song in memory of her maternal grandfather who passed away in 2018. She said, "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."

I wonder how many tears were shed by people listening to this song!? This is an emotinal masterpiece, written by a 14 year old girl!

You could end this as a trilogy watching her newest slowed down version from her concert with audience at Kurbadhagen in Norway last july 2022. You will see that she's even better infront of an audience

To the haters she proved she is the real deal when performing live in Norway 🇳🇴 recently when she performed that amazing run even more impressive than here.

For most of her life she has lived in a multigenerational family which has brought about many different influences in her. Her maternal grandfather was the one mostly influenced her on charitable issues

Believe it or not, I feel her LIVE version of this original song this past year (2022) at her Norway’s Concert. There is one note she does there that she takes to the moon. Oh my, the Yearning.

Wonderful performance of a beautiful song. I was OK until the lady behind her started playing the cello, that brought the feels and tears out for me.

We called us Angels because of her Lyrics out of her own Song Shield.. surround me with Angels and don't let them Go 🙏💟🥰 she needs the protection and support of all Angels to fullfil her Life purpose to spread Love to the whole world 💕🌎💟the requirement for Peace ☮️ and support to all people in need She found the stairway to heaven in her barefoot Story..her book Between two hearts , where she met an orphan girl 💕

"Seventh Heaven" is also written by her but is more upbeat, make you move kind of tune. You will love it guaranteed.

The live versions of this summer concerts were astounding, you should listen to it ..

For me it is one of the most beautiful songs of recent years and the more you listen to it, like all masterpieces, the more it captivates you. If it didn't immediately become a worldwide success, but we are sure it will become so over time, it is so as not to expose too much given Angelina's young age.

She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. To bring joy, love, and good things to this earth. I felt she was put here to do good things and make people feel better. I listen to her every day not a day goes by that I don’t play some of her music. Her voice is heavenly.

The greatest female singer /songwriter alive today !!!

you now need to hear her version of the Willie Nelson song (Always on my Mind) right after her grandfather died. It was her tribute to her grandfather then. If you don't cry your doing better than I can.

Great reaction, as always. Can you imagine how the people will react to her when Republic Records releases her later this year? I worry about the negatives that are in the "world," but she is such a force for good that she will change many.

She sang this beautiful song on the 10th July 2022 At Kurbadhagen Sandefjord Norway and Amazed, Shocked, Stunned and Brought the entire Audience gathered there to tears!. I know, i was there and experienced perfection stood upon the stage in front of me!. Great reaction again my dear! Look forward to your next!. May i suggest I'm Still Holding Out For You! Angelina at 10 years old.

With Angelina, exceptional is the norm ❣️

mic is good song is about passing of grandfather and is for anyone who has lost someone close to them, according to AJ ... a heart wrencher but with hope

This live in studio with just a piano and cello…. The live concert from last July in Norway is even more outstanding!

I have 200 her videos, my profiles, anyone’s R. City one and a half years old. She’s my number one singer of all time regardless of age.

Last summer she sang it live on stage, breathtaking. In case you did not see my comments, When AJ was a little girl, her japanese Grandfather (second husband of Mery Zamany) with him into Oslo, where he helped the homeless community with food and sometimes jobs. He was highly respected. The streets saw her growing up. Today AJ honors him in her own way. At Christmas she was seen, bringing dinner to homeless people. When her grandfather was in hospital, knowing, he would die, he told Angelina: I will watch you from the moon, see every thing you do. Stay true to yourself and you will never regret what you do. In her social media, Angelina said, he was a true Gentleman. I believe that. Be safe, sound and healthy. Elmar from Germany.

Wow, hello Shea, first of all congratulations for your reactions, they are great, this is a work of art for me, a hymn, it transports me and helps me, it's an excellent combo, her voice, her interpretation and the lyrics, I'm moved Angelina; I saw your reaction to Elvis from Suspicious Mindsm, I would love for you to react to Angelina singing this beautiful song, since you heard the original and feel how Angelina makes it her own, how she feels, it's incredible, I thank you again, greetings from Argentina and until next time from Angelina.

At her concert in July in Norway, she slowed this down and the ending part where she cries out.. She carries it out longer and it hits you.

Good job distracting your brain enough so you avoid breaking down in tears 😁 Thats not easy when she sings like this. Thanks, see you in the next one! 💖

Absolutely amazing outstanding performance from Angelina, this is not Angelina’s first original but is her first original after signing with Republic Records age 14 years old, the pianist is 2 times Grammy winner Rob Christie the musical director of Republic Records, Angelina wrote Million Miles as a tribute to her Grandfather who passed away and to anyone who has lost a loved one, Angelina is so special and is absolutely amazing, beautiful heart felt song , great reaction thanks 🙏

Such a beautiful song and so personal Can't wait to hear her forthcoming album. She's working with some top-notch songwriters and musicians.

The live concert version two years later has an even greater emotional impact as she sounds like she is on the verge of tears through the entire song and the two belted phrases are even more intense. She just keeps getting better.

This 14 year old is unmatched. Whether in the studio or in live performances, she sets new levels of performance. In the current video, it's live because it wasn't re-edited. But for a "live" "live" performance, you have to jump forward to this recent summer. When she was 16, she sang this song at Norway's annual music festival; a venue she's been singing at since she was 8 years old. Truly live performances before a crowd of well-wishers is something to behold. The performance we're steering you towards from 2016 displays Angelina's immense talent at the fore. She changed the tempo and phrasing, making her song into something that sends emotions through the ceiling. It's changed enough that you will be able to experience it anew (link follows).

Awesome that you chose to do a reaction to her studio recording as well (still early 14 here !!), where you can actually see her sing. "I'll be watching you from the moon, see everything you do" was actually something her grandfather said to her before he died. It must have felt really good for her to be able to implement those words in the lyrics so beautifully 🙂 Your reactions to Angelina have become among my favorites for sure. And there are SO many more for you to do as well. At this stage you may think you have a grip on her as an artist, but she will show you again and again (and again) that she surpasses anything you've been thinking. Just wait and see. All of her Angels have been there, and we still are. Angelina is just continuing on her journey, and we will ride with her. We are truly blessed to be able to experience this in our own time, first hand. She will definitely go down in the history books as one of the best to ever have done it 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥ Have a great weekend !

Thanks for taking the time to also react to Angelina's live - in studio version of her amazing song (& 1st release with Republic). I listen to Angelina everyday & you have quickly become my favorite reactor. You are truly a beautiful person - both inside & out. Angelina here - singing this in the studio - is 14. What could possibly be better? Well IMHO her best performance was last year at age16: Million Miles - Live at Kongsberg: 2022. This is live in concert in Norway & it is truly mesmerizing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

Very nice praise of Angelina’s voice and how special she is. Attending two of her concerts last summer was such a treat. I was surprised, with as amazing has she sounds in the videos, her voice sounds even amazing in person. Thank you for this.

So pleased you have done this version but NOW you must watch the Live 2022 one . Only Angelina can change one of her originals and make it even more beautiful if that is al all possible!

What purpose does this serve really? Angelina is fabulous! As always...

The funny thing is 2 years later live in Norway is a step above this.

A Million Years Ago.... Is one when she was 9yo.... It's so amazing and the lyrics are so emotional.

You're great in doing reactions to our Angel(ina)... keep them coming!

Sweet reaction Shea. Angelina's songs or even vocals will be hard to replicate because of the level of difficulty and uniqueness in which she sings. There has been several attempts and they were no where close. Angelina has been perfecting her delivery but the characteristics of her vocals can only be claimed by her for she is the inventor.

i love watching people who love music as much as me ❤🙏🏻🍉

Angelina is magnetic, she takes you traveling with her, thanks Carly sdos Argentina

Carly, When I hear Angelina singing her song I feel her pain, especially when she goes high toward the end of the song. To me it’s Angelina wailing because the pain and angst of losing her grandfather hurts so much. This is a fourteen year old young lady whom, in my opinion, was divinely blessed, talented and gifted with a genius level musical intellect. Angelina isn’t just an extraordinarily gifted singer. She is a multifaceted musician, singer and song writer and all around creative talent. She stands above the din and alone amongst a sea of talented young female singers. She is most certainly unique and a very special human being. I think her voice has healing properties because I always feel much better after hearing this blessed angel sing. I fell blessed to have been alive to witness supreme greatness shining through Angelina’ vocal chords.

So touching this young lady has such respect for her parents and grands. Original done after losing her grandfather she was very close to. She obviously was experiencing deep heartfelt emotions as she thought of him and put it to song to share with others. I believe this is a similar process she uses when she hears a song that touches her. She internalizes the intended emotions and speaks life to the emotion that we hear. This song, like her, is such a gift to the world. Good reaction. I noticed you reacted to Wake Me Up by Avicii. Angelina was friends with him and did this song as a tribute to him when she was 12, shortly after the young man passed away. You might consider it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGmjz6WuhLSfg5M.html

You should DEFINITELY react to this tribute Carlie! This is one of the first songs of Angelina’s that I listened to where her arrangement transforms the song into something TOTALLY different (it was done before she covered “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Billy Jean”). Avicii’s original is like an anthem for iconoclasts who “March to the beat of a different drummer”. Angelina transformed Avicii’s own song into a lament for the loss of her dear friend. 😢💔❤️‍🩹

Please consider a dedicated ANGELINA playlist makes it less problematic making requests , my apology if I missed it.

The moon reference if I'm not mistaken came from her grandfather who knew he was dying.

Carly, nice to see your beautiful face and smile. After this one, check some of her live performances of this song in Norway, Summer 2022. CarlyShea, your voice can touch others, also. First Nations people in my area say you never know what voice will the be right sound to heal someone. If you sing, develop your instrument and trust what you've been given. You have a gorgeous smile and beautiful look. You won't be Angelina, but you will be your best YOU. And that is a gift. Grandma Ellen, maybe saying too much. Tossing a hug your way if you want it.

...please do the live version pn Kongsberg 2022...this girl need no technic equipment, she give her best performance in front of the live audience😉.

another version of this, a lyric video that shows words and her grandma's paintings that is fantastic. Keep up the great reactions.

Hi Carlie! I love your reaction and comments to Angelina, and btw you sound great with the new mike. I've watched and listened to this countless times, so I start looking at other things in the video and two things stand out. The first is the cello playing behind her. The cello to me is in perfect tune with the human voice, and here the sound adds to the angst and sadness in her tone. The second thing is the backlighting that makes her hair glow in so many of the shots. Done very purposely and beautifully I think, almost like a halo at times. And finally, you mentioned the moon in her lyrics. I've noticed that the moon is present somewhere in many of her videos, especially since she has done so many takes at different ages on "Fly Me to the Moon." Anyway, enough rambling. Check out the best #1 song never to be by a 10-year-old Angelina - "I'm Still Holding Out for You." Here's the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqpsz8x8mJjPmag.html

A lot of singers today sing great but the instrument's and other stuff like dancer's and light's and other stuff over shadows the singer and the voice of the song. But with her it's mainly her voice with the perfect amount of instruments. I pray she does not go the way of most singers I pray she stays the way she is now and don't get influenced by other singers or companies.

Listen, if you havent yet, to the live performance of this song she did in Kongsberg ( july 7th 2022. I was there). She's great in studio recordings. Right? Well, let me tell you. She's way better live. She doesn't need autotune, reverbs or any other technical computer gimmics. Just give her a mike and a guitar, piano accompainiment, even a cappella. It doesn't matter. She could sing the phone book playing your doorbell.
